Comical.
How can it be more accurate than tested figures? Why dont the testers all throw away their expensive speed/time measuring devices as there someone has come up with a 'calculator'

It's only relevant when you're 15 yrs old.

If it's a boring thread then why enter it! The title is "0-60 speeds for all scoobys", bit of a give away if your not interested in that, wouldnt you say?

Subaru are (ahem) conservative with their performance estimates. Classic Turbo was quoted as 6.4 secs to 60mph.

My Ar$e!! Every magazine that road tested it verified that mid 5s is perfectly managable!

That said, I dare say the classic would have been in insurance group 19 rather than 17 if they'd been more forthright in the official figures, so nice one Subaru!

Depends on how badly they want to acheive a certain insurance grouping: If you say your car can do the 0-60 dash in under 6 secs, realistically, you're going to end up in Group 19 or 20 which means a BIG bill even for buyers over 30 with good NCB.

It's somewhat more redundant on a 1.6 family runabout!
